This article seeks to understand a puzzling aspect of Georg Simmel's The Philosophy of Money, namely, the many religious analogies Simmel uses to characterize money. We argue that with these analogies Simmel indicates how what he would later term 'the transcendent character of life' permeates mundane monetary interactions. Specifically, we articulate how key religious forms of experience - faith, unity, and individuality - exist in monetary exchange and point toward a distinctively Simmelian way to understand the interplay between religion and economics
